Amazing
We had the most amazing 3 nights at Bella Vista and Paul was there to greet us and show us around. There was a fantastic welcome pack (the best we've ever had) and 8 lemon possets freshly made in the fridge. The apartment has absolutely everything you could possibly want/need and the views are to die for. Such a relaxing venue and we will definitely return.

Our family loved the house. SO well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen is a dream. And then: THE VIEWS. Even better than the photos. Incredible. But what really sets this stay apart is the warmth of hospitality and responsiveness of the hosts. Can't recommend Bella Vista highly enough!

Wow. Amazing property
The location was just wonderful, right on the beach! The owners and check in was so warm and kind we were delighted. Paul was so helpful and the welcome pack was the nicest we have ever had, including a home made Tiramisu which was the best I have ever had. The standard of the property and furnishings is exceptional. There is everything you could possibly need catered for. We came here as a family group for my daughter’s wedding and this house was just a wonderful addition to an all round fabulous stay. Thank you to Paul and family. I would highly recommend you stay here.

Fabulous 4 day holiday
8 of us went away together for the first time after knowing each other for 40 years. The house was perfect. They made the beds all into twin beds for us. They left a thoughtful welcome pack of goodies too. The location was exactly what we wanted. We were able to walk to The Bluebird Cafe on arrival for lunch, walk out to 2 other breakfast cafes, order an Indian dinner from the town and walk to a lovely Sunday lunch place called Seaview. We would definitely return x

Perfect beach property
Just returned from our fourth stay at this gem of a rental property where stepping out of the door straight on to the beach is a joy.
Its beautiful living area, comfortable beds and a comprehensively equipped kitchen make it perfect for a relaxing break with friends or family. The hosts are charming and on hand should the need arise and there is parking immediately outside. The property is located on a private estate which extends along the shore for a considerable distance. As a result the beach with its wide expanse of sand at low tide is never crowded.
We have enjoyed staying in winter when it is a cosy refuge after a bracing beach walk, and in summer when the living area's bi-fold doors open up the property to sea air and sunshine and the outside seating comes into its own.

This was, by far, the best place we could have chosen to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday. The whole family were totally awestruck.
A 10 minute walk to a pub that has a lovely menu. Will definately visit again! Even Storm Antoni didn't dampen our few days of celebrations.

A piece of heaven on the coast!
What fun! While we wished we could have stayed longer, we truly enjoyed our 2 day stay. The property is beautiful and very comfortable. A short walk to a lovely little town. And amazing views. But it was the owners that made us feel special and welcomed. We were about 3 hours late due to flights but were still met in person by Paul, who happily showed us around. And left us a lovely amount of food, including a delicious homemade turamasu! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Beautiful beachfront property
We've just returned from Bella Vista and enjoyed a wonderful break. The accommodation was beautiful and spotlessly clean, with stunning views across the beach. Everything you could wish for is supplied, from a plentiful supply of beach towels and a very well equipped kitchen.
The owners have been nothing but helpful and welcoming, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Bella Vista for the perfect seaside getaway.

Absolutely wonderful!
This beautiful property is situated right on the beach, and Paul (and Stewart) couldn't have been more helpful. It is finished to the highest standards and they have thought of everything you could possibly want. We loved every minute - with family from 20 to 82 staying and enjoying some very relaxed time together for a few days. We can't recommend this more highly to anyone!

A lovely location - shame we couldn’t stay longer
We took this trip to get together with friends, the place is lovely and caters for people with disabilities without being clinical. We really enjoyed our time and, although the weather wasn’t favourable, we still managed to get out on the beach which is directly off the property. I can imagine in summer that it would be even more amazing.

Spent Christmas here with the family and it was such a lovely place to for all of us to stay. The property is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The decor and set up also give it a very homely feeling which makes it an ideal home from home place to stay. Lots to do in the area. Really appreciated the extra efforts that our hosts went to welcome us and to make the place nice and Christmassy!
